Paul, When I built LTSP, I started from zero. That is, I started with just a kernel. Then I learned that when the kernel was done, it looked for the /sbin/init program. When the init program ran, it looked for /etc/inittab. I created an inittab file with only the things we needed to get the workstation booting. since then, we've added a few things, but not much.
I haven't had the need to do the soft powerdown, so I've just never gotten around to make that work. if you'd like to add the shutdown command for runlevel 0, that would be great. others have requested it, but we just haven't had the time to do it.
